Three Men In Expensive Suits Sat On The Dock

Day after day, three men in expensive suits sat on the dock at Cayman Islands marina, watching the gigantic yachts gliding by and sighing sadly.  Whenever anyone asked their story, they always said the same thing.
The one on the end said, "I came after the Iowa Straw Poll, because I supported Mitt Romney".
The one in the middle said, "I came here after the Republican Nation Convention, because I opposed Mitt Romney."
The one on the right said, "I came here after the National Election, because I *am* Mitt Romney".
